He will be arraigned under the superseding indictment in Chicago, possibly on 5 March, when he already had a status hearing scheduled.
CHICAGO – US authorities on Friday released revamped federal charges in Chicago against the R&B superstar R Kelly, to include sex crime allegations that involve a new accuser.
The superseding filing removes the reference to "Minor 2", however, meaning there are still five accusers involved in the Chicago federal case. The Chicago federal charges allege Kelly filmed himself having sex with minors and that he paid potential witnesses in his 2008 trial -- in which he was acquitted -- to ensure their silence.
In December the artist born Robert Sylvester Kelly pleaded not guilty to bribery charges in New York that are believed to be linked to his marriage to the late singer Aaliyah when she was just 15 years old.
